To remove FRP (Factory Reset Protection) on a Redmi S2/Y2 using Fastboot mode with an unlocked bootloader, you’ll typically use the Fastboot mode to flash certain partitions or commands that can bypass the FRP lock. Here’s a general guide on how to do it:
Prerequisites:
- Unlocked Bootloader: Ensure your Redmi S2/Y2 has an unlocked bootloader. This process requires bootloader unlocking, which may void your warranty and erase all data on the device.
- ADB and Fastboot Drivers: Install ADB and Fastboot drivers on your computer.
- USB Cable: Use a USB cable to connect your device to the computer.
- Download Necessary Files: Download the required files (like firmware or specific commands) needed to flash your device.
Steps to Remove FRP via Fastboot:
- Enter Fastboot Mode:
- Power off your Redmi S2/Y2 completely.
- Press and hold the Volume Down button and Power button together until the Fastboot logo appears on the screen.
- Connect to Computer:
- Connect your Redmi S2/Y2 to the computer using a USB cable.
- Open Command Prompt / Terminal:
- On your computer, open a Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/macOS).
- Check Fastboot Connection:
- Type
fastboot devices
in the Command Prompt/Terminal and press Enter. This command should show your device’s serial number, confirming that it’s connected in Fastboot mode.
- Remove FRP:
- Depending on the specific method or tool you’re using, you might need to execute commands to flash certain partitions or perform specific operations that bypass FRP. For example, some methods involve flashing modified boot or system images that bypass FRP checks.
- Example Commands (commands may vary based on the specific method you’re using):
fastboot erase frp
fastboot format frp
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot -w
(this wipes data including FRP)
- Execute Commands:
- Type the appropriate command(s) in the Command Prompt/Terminal and press Enter.
- Wait for the process to complete. Ensure there are no errors reported during the flashing process.
- Reboot:
- Once the commands have been executed successfully, type
fastboot reboot
and press Enter to reboot your Redmi S2/Y2.
- Set Up Your Device:
- After rebooting, set up your device as usual. The FRP lock should now be bypassed.
Important Notes:
- Data Loss: These operations may erase all data on your device, so ensure you have backed up any important data before proceeding.
- Legal and Warranty Considerations: Unlocking the bootloader and modifying device firmware may void warranties and violate terms of service with the manufacturer.
- Security: Ensure you have the necessary permissions to perform these actions on the device. Unauthorized access to someone else’s device may be illegal.
Always double-check commands and procedures specific to your device model and firmware version to avoid unintended consequences. If you’re unsure, it may be safer to seek professional assistance or use official methods provided by the device manufacturer.
